The New Indian Express Kochi|December 23, 2024
AMID a standoff between the departments of Industries and Electricity over the operation of the Maniyar small hydroelectric project (SHEP) in Pathanamthitta, the decision of the government on whether a private industrial unit should continue to operate the power plant or hand it over to KSEB will be crucial.
SOVI VIDYADHARAN @T'Puram

However, the government is treading cautiously as it involves a cheap source of energy on the one hand and industrial promotion on the other.
